Pryce has never struck me as that type of player.

I'm inclined to agree.

His past indicates that he is eager to have a major role within the side he plays for though and he did take this role to a degree at Wakey last week. Its much easier with Cunningham at 9 for him though. We could be in a situation where Pryce is trying to control the game with Scott Moore at 9 in future.

Big questions for the structure of Saints' play in the future. All this goes to show is how important Sean Long is to us, he has his critics but hes huge to Saints, even when he doesn't do anything flash, he makes sure we win games.

WTF does 'Salford need to sniff the camel's back' mean???

Glad you asked that, saves me the trouble.

On topic, to be honest I think Brough is a bit over-rated. I think he's been a medium-sized fish in quite a small pond at Wakey and I think he'd look very ordinary at Saints or Leeds. We certainly don't have anyone around the first team at the moment that I'd swap him for. Good kicking game mind you, but I'd want a bit more. As a replacement for Sean Long I'd be disappointed with him if (God forbid) I were a Saints fan.

He said "Sniff the Camel Toe" but Sky edited it for family viewing.

Saints have Matty Smith out on loan at Celtic, He's one of their half backs. Steven Tyrer is there aswell and with Matty Smith being injured it seems he is going to be playing the halves tonight. Them 2 plus Lomax and Wheeler. Now Brough; how many more half backs do they want......

Brough would fit in at Saints in my opion because just like Pryce and Long, he's abit of a D!CK! I heard amongst the "Briers is leaving" rumours Warrington were in with a shout on him?

The 'camel' comment was after the Hull KR V Salford game though and that was the last game featured. I've no idea where the saying comes from. Perhaps it's big in Oldham?

Tyrer is a centre.

Our halfbacks are Long, Pryce, Wheeler, Smith and Eastmond that I know of. Matty Smith looks unlikely to be allowed back into the club, despite looking promising when he deputised for Long last season. Eastmond is being groomed to replace Wellens at fullback I reckon, although he's made of biscuit so its unlikely we'll ever see his potential realised.

Long could well be retiring this season, I'm not aware he's made any plans public. Wheeler looks a good prospect but there is a year or two before he'll need an expensive senior contract, so there is obviously room for another halfback to be signed.

We could see the following leave:

Long
Cunningham
Cayless
Gilmour
Gidley

and the following join:

Danny Brough
Scott Moore
A.N Other NRL random
A.N Other from academy or NRL
Sir Jamie Lyon

You'd think Saints would be having plenty of cash around in the coming years.

Long replaced by a youngster.
Cunningham replaced by a youngster.
Cayless probably replaced by a youngster.
Gilmour maybe somebody brought in.
Gidley - Jamie Lyon.

Realistically Long and KC will take up a lot of the salary at Saints so should some there to pay off the tax bill when it comes in.

Barry Mac said this on the Hills podcast, I'm getting itchy feet waiting for Leeds to pull out a signing some time soon.

Brough is quility but only in parts of the season IMO

he's failed to be consistant for a whole year and only once or twice has been a stand out player against decent oposition!
